NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS.—The Ellsworth Reg­iment were paid off Saturday. The money— $20,000—was advanced to Major Richardson by

Erastus Corning, in anticipation of its reception from Washington.

Madison.—The citizens of this town met Monday evening at the Baptist Church, and or-ganized an Ellsworth town association. Thirty-six volunteer subscriptions of $1 each were immediately made, and solicitors appointed to circulate subscriptions in the different parts of the town. An Executive Committee of five was appointed, and also a committee of three to se­lect the volunteers. Speeches were made suita­ble to the occasion, by the Chairman, Dea. Brig-ham, Rev. Mr. Sharts and Rev. Mr. Swift.

The meeting adjourned to Friday evening this week, at this place, when we expect the associa­tion will number one hundred.

JOHN W. LIPPETT, Ch'n. ALLEN CURTIS, Sec'y. Dated Madison, Aug. 6, 1861.

NEW HARTFORD.—At a meeting held last Friday evening, a town organization to assist in raising the Ellsworth or People's Regiment was effected, and already the soldier to represent the town has been selected, and the money for his equipment raised. The man selected is DAVID SHAPLEY, Jr., of whom a correspondent writes viz: Mr. SHAPLEY is a young man who stands high in society, strictly moral and of true integ-rity. He is a graduate of Whitestown Semi­nary, and also of Bassett's Commercial College." He will soon make many friends in the regiment, I am confident."

—The Ellsworth Regiment will receive one month's pay this week. They will leave for Washington, probably, early next week.

PEOPLE'S ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—Charles

C. La Grange, Guilderland, Albany county, and Albert Morgan, Dover Plains, Dutchess county, have been selected to represent said towns in this Regiment.

Hon. ERASTUS CORNING telegraphed last

evening from Washington, that this regiment will be accepted by the Government.

CHAS. HUGHES, Secretary.

NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS.—Two skeleton regi­

ments—the People's regiment and Col. Vinton's —were mustered into the United States service at the Albany barracks on Friday.

—The Peoples' Ellsworth Regiment, to the number of about 900, were reviewed by Major General Morgan and Staff, Monday afternoon. Between six and eight thousand persons witnessed the review, and the reputation of the Regiment as one of the best, if not the best Volunteer Regiment in the State, was fully established.

THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—The Albany

Journal says the ranks are being rapidly filled up. Nearly 700 men are now enrolled. The committee have selected Maj. J . B. RICE, who served as Adjutant in the Garibaldi Guards, as Lieutenant Colonel. He is a gentleman of the highest character, tried bravery, and of conceded soldiery skill. He will be popular with the Regi-ment, as he is with all who have known him— as many of our citizens have—from boyhood up. Schreiber's Band is to be attached to the Regi-ment—one of the finest in the State.

—The Ellsworth Regiment is rapidly filling up. They spend six hours out of the twenty-four in drilling under experienced and competent officers, and devote their leisure time to athletic sports. The Regiment bids fair to be an honor to the State.

THE ELLSWORTHS.—This regiment is now practically full. The full quota has not yet been mustered in; but there are men enough on the rolls to bring it up to 1040.

Lieut. Munday, of Seneca county, has been appointed Quartermaster. He is a young gentleman of fine character and tho­rough business qualifications.

Rev. Mr. Pease, a Presbyterian clergy­man of eminent fitness, of Saratoga county, has been appointed Chaplain.

The fatigue uniform of the Regiment—of Zouave cut—will be ready next week. I t will be very neat. In ten days they will be ready to march.—Albany Journal, 5th.

THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—The Greene

(Chenango county) American has a rumor that the Ellsworth People's Regiment is expected to be ordered to Missouri in about a week. There is no official announcement of the fact, but Che-nango county has a considerable number of offi­cers and men in the Regiment, and from some of

them the information was probably obtained.

—On Monday morning, Messrs. W. E. Lewis and Paul B. Clark, of Preston, and Geo. Webb and C. Rorepough, of Smithville, left for Albany to join the Ellsworth Regiment.

THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.—Mr. David SHAPLEY, JR., OF NEW Hartford, called on us yesterday, on his way to join his regiment at Albany.

Extract of a Letter from the 44th Reg't. CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, Va.

April 3d, 1862. * * * * * *

Everything is quiet here. We had our in-spection to-day by Lieut. Col. Webb, of Gen. Meade's Staff. The regiment was in splendid shape. The inspection was for the purpose of getting more furloughs granted, for both officers and men. I think it will be a success. It has been reported here that our corps (that is the 5th) is to go to Kentucky soon, but I think it is only a report. If we move I will let you know. Capt. Gibbs and all the officers are well.

Respectfully, S. F. J., 44th Reg't., N. Y. V.

WOUNDED OF Co. A, 44TH REGIMENT.— The following wounded of Co. A, 44th Regt., N. Y. Vols., are now in the hospital at Gettysburg:

Joseph Harnegan, leg; Robert Barnes, thigh; Wm. M. Morris, knee; Henry C. Kencle, eye; Allen J. Herd, neck and breast; John Steel, thigh; S. Cheese-man, foot; Thomas Hunt, leg; Lewis F. Ferram, face; Justan Bennett, back; Julian Rowlton, knee; Jacob Wagner, arm; Wm. Cunningham, shoulder.

ARRIVAL OF OFFICERS OF THE 44TH.—

Capt. Charles W. Gibbs, Lieut. Graves and six Sergeants, of the 44th Regiment, arrived in town on Saturday. They go hence to Elmira to take charge of the conscripts at that depot. Major Knox, formerly of this city, proceeded direct from Harrisburg for the same purpose.

Personal.—Capt. Chas. W. Gibbs, Lieut. An­thony Graves, Jr. and Sergeant Bomus, of the 44th (Ellsworth) Regiment, arrived in town Saturday. They are en route for Elmira, having been detailed for special duty, the reception and charge of conscripts. Major Knox will meet them at the rendezvous with six pri­vates from the 44th.

Our Albany friends are all well and hearty, having es-caped injury during the recent severe battles in Pennsyl-vania. As might be expected they are all in excellent spirits, on account of the recent brilliant achivements of the glorious Army of the Potomac, with which they have been connected since its organization.

HOME MATTERS. From the 44th Regiment—An Advance

Movement Expected. Correspondence of the Times & Courier. CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, VA., APRIL 14.

We have orders to be ready to move to-mor-row. The men are to carry five days rations and the officers eight. All the Cavalry went yester-day and we must soon follow. We are all ready to go. The roads are in good order and the weather is splendid. I think we have any amount of hard work and fighting to do this month.

We received notice last night that Lieut. Col. Connor had been honorably discharged from the service. You know he was wounded at Fredericksburgh and has been home since that time, it being over sixty days, and I suppose he

was discharged on that account. The men are in good spirits and ready to move. If we have

any fighting to do, you will hear a good account from the 44th.

Respectfully yours, J.

OTSEGO COUNTY. DEATH OF A SOLDIER.—At a meeting of the mem­

bers of Company F, 44th (People's Ellsworth) Regi-ment, called in consequence of the death of their late esteemed comrade and fellow soldier, Charles Chappell, on motion, it was unanimously resolved that a series of resolutions be drawn as expressive of their sense at this bereavement, and to forward to his afflicted family a copy thereof.

In pursuance of the above, it is Resolved, That in the death of our late brother

soldier, Charles Chappell, we have lost a faithful comrade, the cause in which we are engaged an earnest supporter, and the service a young and promising soldier. Whatever may be our loss, or that of the army in the early decease of our com-rade, it is our stern duty to bow to the mandate of an all-wise God, and in meek submission acknowl-eddge His right to rule among men, and feel that whatever He willeth is for our temporal and tempo-ral good and welfare."

Resolved, That to the parents and family of our deceased comrade, we offer a soldier's heartfelt con­solation and sympathy in this their hour of affliction. Though our own grief is keenly felt on this sad oc­casion, it must be as naught in comparison to that of an affectionate family. It is our fervent hope that the trial may be borne with resignation and for-titude, and we again ask them to accept our heart-felt sympathies in their bereavement.

Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the deceased.

Camp Butterfield, Hall's Hill, Va., November 26, 1861.

Committee—John G. Vanderzee, Color-Sergeant, 44th Regiment; Robert H. McCormice, Sergeant, Company F, 44th Regiment; Samuel W. Chandler, Corporal, Company F, 44th Regiment; George W. B. Seely, Private, Company F, 44th Regiment.

THE ELLSWORTH REGIMENT.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF IT.

A sketch of the El lswor th Regiment, t h e par t i t ha s performed in the w a r and w h a t has become of it, will be interesting to our read-ers. W e are indebted for the following state­men t to Col. R I C E : —

T h e Forty-fourth Reg imen t N e w York State Volunteers, was originally composed of 1028 men, r ank and file, selected from the different towns a n d villages th roughout the State of N e w York , and it entered the service of t he United States on the 8th day of August , 1861.

T h e average height of t he r ank and file of this regiment was five feet t en and a half inches, a n d more t h a n four hundred of the same averaged six feet.

T h e average age of t h e r a n k and file was twenty- two years.

On or about the 1st of November , 1861, the regiment marched into Virginia. Fo rming a par t of the 3d Brigade, under t he command of Gen. Butterfield, i t became very proficient in the manua l of a r m s and bat tal ion drill, through the efficiency of tha t thorough disci­plinarian a n d accomplished officer.

Since t he 1st of November , 1861, this regi­ment has marched 713 miles, performed 103 days of p icket and fatigue duty , and drilled 147 days on a n average of five hours per day.

T h e regiment has been engaged in the fol­lowing batt les, v i z : Seige o f Yorktown, Han­over Cour t House , Gaines Mills, Turkey Bend, Malvern Hil l , Groveton, Antietam and Freder­icksburg.

In the bat t le of Hanover Court House the regiment lost, i n killed and wounded, twenty-five pe r cent of its force engaged. I n the bat­tle of Gaines Mills the loss was twenty per c e n t , and in t he batt le of Malvern Hi l l t he loss was forty-five per c e n t . A t the lat ter bat­tle the regiment charged, a t a critical moment in the fortunes of the day, upon an entire bri­gade of the enemy, pu t i t to flight and cap­tured its s tand of colors.

T h e total number , r ank a n d file, of the ori­ginal members of the regiment , killed and wounded, is 314; of deaths by disease, 6 7 ; discharged for disability, 2 0 7 ; detached from the regiment , 4 5 ; promoted to the r ank of commissioned officers i n this and other regi­ments, 32; discharged by order of t he Secre­tary of W a r , including musicians, 50.

1259 No accurate account of the number of the

wounded that have died from their wounds, or been discharged on account thereof has as yet been received by the Adjutant of the Re­giment, and, therefore, all such of the rank and file have been included under the head of dis­charged for disability, and those of the wound­ed who are absent and unfit for duty are in­cluded among the absent sick.

The following officers of the regiment have been wounded in battle, namely:—Lieutenant Colonel Conner, Major Chapin, Adjutant Knox, Captains Larrabee, Nash, Van Derlip, Shaffer, Becker, Gibbs, McRoberts and Woodworth, Lieutenants Fox, Hardenburg, Kelley, Graves and Gaskill.

Five officers were on detached service, three had resigned, and two had died before the first engagement.

In several battles not all of the regiment was engaged, a large number of soldiers hav­ing been left as camp guard.

A R M Y C O R R E S P O N D E N C E .

From the 44 th Regiment.

We are permitted to make the following ex­tracts from a letter received by CHARLES R. JOHNSON, from GEORGE H. SPRY, of the 44th

Regiment. We wish we had space to print the entire letter, but as it is must content ourselves with the following:

STONEMAN'S SWITCH, NEAR FALMOUTH, Va., May 18, 1863.

Most of the two years and nine months men have already left the army. Eve­ry train that has passed towards Acqua Creek

for the last two weeks has been loaded with discharged Regiments. I assure you they are

all jolly over their home prospect. George Pabodie was here last week. He will

be home next month. He has been a good sol­dier and will come home with a clean record. Yesterday I was over to the 5th Excelsior, and saw Lieutenant Terry, and David Hetzel. Capt. R. A. Stanton is Ordnance Officer on the Staff of Gen. Graham, Commander of the 3d Divi-sion, 3d Corps. Stanton is a good soldier, and I am glad he is appreciated.

I presume you have read much of Hooker's late movements and are anxious to know how they are regarded in the army. My observa­tion assures me that his plans and movements were admirable, and that but for certain events which no human being could foresee or avert, we should now be in Richmond. Every intel­ligent soldier in the Army of the Potomac ad­mires Gen. Hooker more than ever, for on the field he fully sustained his reputation as "Fight-

ing Joe," and manifested that military skill and resource which should be expected of so grand an army. The battles which were fought across the Rappahannock were terribly desperate, and the enemy must have lost nearly twenty thou-sand in killed and wounded. I assure you Charley, the troops came off that blood-stained field feeling that they had whipped the enemy, and believing that our retrograde movement was expedient, and necessary to the future suc­cess of our arms. What army in the world, in the same length of time, ever did more or any better fighting than this army has done?

The Army of the Potomac has saved the Northern Border States from invasion, saved our Capitol, and given the "Home Guard," the pleasing assurance, that as yet the coun­try is safe. The memorable battle-fields, al­­ost within hearing distance of Washington, where bleach the bones of heroic soldiers should be sacred to the memory of the "Army of the Potomac," an army unequalled for its valor and discipline in the whole world. What though this war lasts ten years, should we be any the less certain of final victory? The spir-its of our Revolutionary fathers, and of the il­lustrious dead of the campaign answer No! I want to see a certain class of people in Chenan­go County, who have been at their ease the last two years, double quicking with a knapsack on and going into a fight where they can taste of battle. There have been times heretofore when I felt blue, but those times are past. The prospects of the Government are encouraging, and al­ready our national horizon brightens with the sunshine of foreshadowed victory. Tell the people of Norwich that "all is well" with our army. As I learn more of military, and more fully realize the necessities of our cause, I see how necessary it is that every man should stand firm by the Government, and crush every symptom of treason in the army, or at home. Everything looks cheering to me, and I am in earnest when I tell you that the army is in good spirits and has the utmost confidence in Gen. Hooker.

I send you a photograph of our flag, which has seen many hard fought battles. Its bullet holes and broken staff tell whether or not the 44th has done its duty. Yours ever,

GEO. H. SPRY.

From the 44th Regiment. CAMP OF THE 44TH REG. VA.

May 18th, 1863.

Mr. Editor.--I promised you a le t te r after the battle, if I did not get my head

pushed off on the occasion, so I fulfill, and

do so more willingly after reading the

comments of the New York papers on

this last great conflict. Never before have I seen such misrepresentations of any

movement we have made. I t seems to be a malicious attempt of reporters to vent their impotent rage upon Hooker, and Butterfield because they were kept from

the usually cowardly enjoyment of seeing a terrific battle at a safe distance.

"You must keep this side of the river, Gentlemen, says Gen. Hooker to the

sneaks. If you go over you must shoulder

muskets, I'll have nothing but fighting

man over there." This was a different

business to any they had been accustomed

to, yet they must send some report to the

N. Y. papers, if they fabricated one, hence

the infamous stories now afloat. Not

wishing to take for soldiers more credit

than truth will allow I wish the people of

Oxford to have a correct version from one

who was in all, and through all, from the

1st to the 6th of May, the first Division on

the ground was ours. The simple gaining of the position unopposed by the enemy,

which we held to the last at Chancellor-ville, the other side of the Rapidan, was a movement exhibiting more Generalship

than has ever been displayed by any pre-

vious Generals of this army. It perfectly

astounded the rebels, we dropped down in their midst so suddenly, it left doubtful the

diection we came from. The river where

we crossed was so desirably fitted by na-ture for a strong defence, it was estimated by the best judges, that had 5000 rebels

opposed our crossing with thirty pieces of

artillery, it would have been impossible

for us to get over.

The old "44th" were on the lead that day, a mile ahead of the corps. We came to the river bank, on the other stood 20 rebel pickets, apparently lost in amazement our sudden appearance. Gen. Griffin came to the river, took one look at the frowning hill on the other side, turning around in his saddle said, "Forty-fourth, we must gain those hills with one Divi-sion, within an hour, or this river will run with blood. Every minute is worth the lives of 500 men. Will you lead?" " W e will! we will!" shouted 300 strong voices. Taking off our cartridge boxes and rations, holding them high above our head in the left hand, our gun in our right, we plunged in. I t was cold, and muddy, and rising fast from the rain of the day before, and wider than the Chenango at Oxford. We reached the opposite side safely, with our powder dry, taking a good position, stayed there that night. The next morning moved forward three miles and found we were in the vicinity of the entire Rebel army. Now came the ma-noevering, but three corps of ours, were then on the ground, that night the 2d and 3d Corps joined us, via of U. S. Ford. Friday in the forenoon our corps began to feel of the enemy, he seemed rather shy. In the afternoon, we had one short but severe collision. The 2d Division of our corps, (Gen. Sykes) suffered the most, the enemy had a good charge at him, with us, it was the other way, we lost few, and kil-led very many. Saturday we were assign-ed our position on the left centre, having time made a breast-work behind which we expected to stand, and if the rebels came

give them a warm reception, about 4 P. M., were astonished by a discharge of musketry on our right, the like of which I never heard. Those heavy discharges from long lines at Antietam, and Malvern Hills, seemed but picket firing beside this. Cannon opened immediately, and with the musketry fairly shook the earth where we stood. In a few moments news came that the 11th corps had broke, and back they came upon us in the utmost confusion.— Our boys felt this state of things keenly, knowing too well what an advantage it

gave the enemy. Conch's corps immedi-ately filled the breach, being nearest we went on Conch's right, leaving our place since there was no probability of any fighting in the old quarter, collecting what they could of the scattered 11th it was nearly dark, but the real fighting of May 2d now began. Jackson's whole force, the flower of the rebel army were moving up, flushed with momentary success.— Hooker, rode down the lines, receive the enemy upon your bayonets, fire not a shot they cannot see you. W e got down, in a moment they burst fro the woods, line after line, came steadily forward to-ward Berry's Division first to our left.— They thought there was nothing in the way, and an easy victory before them, but instantly a long dark line extending across the fields arose, presenting a glistening,

they halted as quick as though shot in their track. In vain did their commanders urge them forward, they could not drive them on to the bayonets, they wavered for a moment, then the first line broke, at this we opened with musketry throughout the whole line, at the same time some 30 brass Napoleon guns 20 lbs. opened with canis­ter, at the discharge of these pieces, so close were the enemy, that legs, arms, and huge pieces of bodies filled the air. They would totally demolish a line of battle at two or three discharges. They fell back

in the wood and formed again, and then came forward as before, only again to be demolished. How many times this was done I cannot say, but as fast as the men could be got into line till midnight. The long sheets of f i re from the infantry, the terrible flashes of the cannon, the bursting of shells, all together, made fireworks awfully grand, and cast Four th of July operations into shade. W h e n at last Jackson learned what he had to deal with, that it was impossible to break our lines he withdrew for the night. W e laid down on our arms. As day broke Sunday morning the enemy came on. Deserters during the night, told us that Jackson had promised "to break our centre if it cost his life, and the lives of his entire army," and when line after line came out of the woods early in the morning, advancing across the fields steadily to the attack, it would seem to an observer, unused to such scenes, that no human power could with-stand the onset. W e were ready, and

however determined Jackson might be, there was determination equally firm in

our unwavering line, which stood with bayonets f i x e d for the foe. The scene which now ensued was similar to that of the night before, only the slaughter of the enemy was greater, if that was possible, although they hurled their entire force against two divisions for six hours, they never moved an inch, not a solitary inch from where we had set our line after the retreat of the 11th corps. A t length they encumbered the ground, they could not move their lines over it. W e lost heavily in two Divisions, of course we must in such fighting, but by the side of the ene-mies dead in front, piled up till nearly as high as the fences our loss was but a cypher. As they went down almost by battalions, I could hardly refrain from swinging my hat and crying out. "So much for Dec. 13th when they set us down so before Fredericksburg." The enemy left us, and went back on Sedgwick with their whole force and drove him from the height.— W h a t then should keep us there? It would not do to drive Lee this side of the river, between us and Washington, there was nothing but to retire, as for being driven back by Lee's army, you may set this down that the whole population of the South, men, women, children, niggers and all, could not have driven us from that position.

The 17th N. Y. started for home to-day, you remember Capt. Tyrrell enlisting men in Oxford for that regiment, their t ime is out, we have been to see them off, for they belonged to our brigade. In kind re-gards, Yours, J . E . B.

BIVOUAC OF 44TH REG'T N. Y. VOLS., KELLY'S FORD, RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER, June 6, 1863.

To the Editor of the Springville Herald:

I herewith send you a photograph of the old flag of the FORTY-FOURTH REGIMENT,

which has obtained some celebrity through the newspapers. The people of Springville have a heritage in this flag, for Springville valor has sustained it amid all the trying scenes through which it has passed, and its glory has been purchased with the blood of her noblest and truest sons. The names of MYERS, WALKER and HAMMOND should

be cherished in lasting rembmbrance as long as valor and country are cherished among men. These young men yielded up their lives to vindicate the honor of this f lag, and maintain the integrity of the Union; and their names should not be al­lowed to sink into oblivion. Deeds of val­or and heroism should be regarded among the choicest treasures of a free people, and every town should see to it that the sac­rifices and achievements of her Sons are not forgotten, but treasured up in grateful hearts, and transmitted as a priceless leg-acy to future generations.
